around 5 years ago, they came up with a renewed vision to try and turn around company’s fortunes
![Page 8: Overselling Agile Certifications and Frameworks : Presented by Sridharan Vembu](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021919/587a9dfe1a28ab09758b650b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Part of this vision was a complete redesign of the digital marketing platform across the globe

This initiative was under one of the affiliated companies of this global giant

ThoughtWorks partnered with this company exactly three years ago to help them achieve this goal

Let me ask you few questions?
![Page 15: Overselling Agile Certifications and Frameworks : Presented by Sridharan Vembu](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021919/587a9dfe1a28ab09758b650b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
How many are you are certified?
![Page 16: Overselling Agile Certifications and Frameworks : Presented by Sridharan Vembu](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021919/587a9dfe1a28ab09758b650b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
How many of you have used any of the scale frameworks?
![Page 17: Overselling Agile Certifications and Frameworks : Presented by Sridharan Vembu](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021919/587a9dfe1a28ab09758b650b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Can you tell me, what are some of the aspects / elements missing in this story, that the Frameworks and Certifications prescribe as ‘must-have’ or ‘should-have’?
![Page 18: Overselling Agile Certifications and Frameworks : Presented by Sridharan Vembu](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021919/587a9dfe1a28ab09758b650b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
No HIP - yes, you’re right… !
NO HIP
![Page 19: Overselling Agile Certifications and Frameworks : Presented by Sridharan Vembu](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021919/587a9dfe1a28ab09758b650b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
No Fancy titles and roles
![Page 20: Overselling Agile Certifications and Frameworks : Presented by Sridharan Vembu](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021919/587a9dfe1a28ab09758b650b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
No separate Release Management, Product Management, etc required
![Page 21: Overselling Agile Certifications and Frameworks : Presented by Sridharan Vembu](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021919/587a9dfe1a28ab09758b650b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
UX needs to be one of the agile teams or spread across teams
![Page 22: Overselling Agile Certifications and Frameworks : Presented by Sridharan Vembu](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021919/587a9dfe1a28ab09758b650b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Why Kanban only at Portfolio / Epic level?

Sorry DAD, I don’t agree with you :-)
![Page 24: Overselling Agile Certifications and Frameworks : Presented by Sridharan Vembu](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021919/587a9dfe1a28ab09758b650b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Why I think, Certifications alone don’t help you…
![Page 25: Overselling Agile Certifications and Frameworks : Presented by Sridharan Vembu](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021919/587a9dfe1a28ab09758b650b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Some Good things I like…• Architecture continuous evolves - you got it right Dean…
• Continuous integration and test first - Again Big +1
• Trying to give a common structure to the learnings
• Somebody has put in a lot of effort to put together all their learnings and gave a structure to it
![Page 26: Overselling Agile Certifications and Frameworks : Presented by Sridharan Vembu](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021919/587a9dfe1a28ab09758b650b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools !
Working software over comprehensive documentation !
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation !
Responding to change over following a plan
And then the Agile Manifesto says…
![Page 27: Overselling Agile Certifications and Frameworks : Presented by Sridharan Vembu](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021919/587a9dfe1a28ab09758b650b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
I’d to agree with Ken Schwaber - The RUP guys were back!! :-)
![Page 28: Overselling Agile Certifications and Frameworks : Presented by Sridharan Vembu](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021919/587a9dfe1a28ab09758b650b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The 4 Questions you should ask? - Alistair Cockburn• Independent of anything else going on, how will you increase collaboration?
• Accounting for everything else going on, how can you increase trial and actual deliveries to consumers?
• How will you get people to pause and reflect on what's happening to and around them?
• What are some experiments your people will do at different levels in the organisation to make a small improvement?
![Page 29: Overselling Agile Certifications and Frameworks : Presented by Sridharan Vembu](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022021919/587a9dfe1a28ab09758b650b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The Take Aways…• Need a strong executive sponsor from client organisation
• If not all, need at least one PMO member supporting the transformation
• Start with a core team (Inside Out approach) that truly believes in agile
• if the team has some or good exposure around agile, you couldn’t ask for more :-)
• Please understand, the transformation is not about introducing new vocabulary or shaking the existing structure
• The key to success lies in behavioural change
• If you want to focus on process change and improvement, focus primarily on Engineering Processes and not only operational processes
